Remember the scholarship funds being offered by the Cartoonists League of Absurd Washingtonians?


Well, guess who's going to be photographed with an absurdly large check?

Congratulations to our own Kayla Cline!

3x3 International Student Show

3x3 Magazine, which, you know, is pretty great, has a student show coming up.

Information here.

Please note that the web page lists all the dates as "2010," but otherwise all the information is current.

You can check out 3x3 Magazine at the MCA Library.

Feeling Ambitious?

Lürzer's Archive is accepting submissions to their annual 200 Best Illustrators Worldwide 2011/12.

Selections are made by an international jury, although they also give prices for pages. I'm not sure what that's about. Do you think they make you pay for the privilege of being selected? I dunno. But I thought I'd bring it to your attention.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE is JULY 21, 2010.

Draw the Haggis-Beast!

In case anyone, in the hectic last days of a waning semester, should happen to have a spare moment and need something to draw, this might be fun.

500 Pencils Competition

As seen in The Black & White, Socialdesigner.com is co-sponsoring a student competition to draw 4 scenes for a children's coloring book:

DESIGN BRIEF
Devise 4 scenes of an original story and illustrate them for a coloring book for children of ages 5-7.
We are looking for imaginative, positive stories and illustrations that translate into fun coloring-in pages for young kids.

Requirements:
You must be a student to enter (winner and honorable mention recipients will be required to provide proof of their student status).
Your narrative and drawings must be understandable to 5-7 year olds.
The 4 scenes must be consecutive scenes, but they do not need to tell an entire story from start to finish.
As with all coloring book illustrations, the drawings must be outlines.
Your story and drawings must be original.

Your entry must include:
• 4 illustrations that follow the requirements stated above.
• A brief description of the scenes and characters depicted.


PRIZE
$500 plus a set of 500 Colored Pencils to the winning design.
Judges may award up to 2 Honorable Mentions to receive a set of 500 Colored Pencils.

You know, I hate colored pencils. Just hate them. But even I would kinda like 500 of them. Imagine the colors!

Got a minute?

There's about 30 days left to submit to this:
